OVERLOAD CO makes gear module which includes two components: Component Lambda and Component Kappa. These components are produced in a Production resource and then assembled together in Assembly. A typical production cycle will include 600 units of Component Lambda and 100 units of Component Kappa and would involve two setups to switch between the two types of components. Each setup takes 30 minutes. Suppose that Production of these components has 1 worker and is the bottleneck resource in the process. Each Component Lambda takes 240 seconds to make and each component Kappa takes 60 seconds to make. Assume that there is sufficient demand and the process is capacity-constrained. Further assume that the Production resources is the bottleneck resource. You are further told that: Number of units of Component Lambda needed to make each gear module = 6 Number of units of Component Kappa needed to make each gear module = 1 (9) Suppose that Production of these components has 1 worker. Suppose that a gear module is assembled at the Assembly resource in 27 minutes. If REMEDIAL CO designs a cyclic schedule for the Production resource, how many Component Lambda should they make in each batch so as to minimize inventory while not constraining the flow rate of the process? (Number of workers at Assembly = 1) Instructions: Round the final answer to whole number. Do not round intermediate workings. Use Excel to avoid rounding intermediate workings.

If REMEDIAL CO designs a cyclic schedule for the Production resource, what batch size (in component sets) should it operate so as to minimize inventory while not constraining the flow through assembly?
